TCM to honor Karl Malden tomorrow

No, don't worry, it's not going to be a two-hour live funeral. Turner Classic Movies is going to show three of Karl Malden's best movies in a mini-marathon starting at 8PM. Here's the lineup:

8PM: On The Waterfront10PM: A Streetcar Named Desire12:15AM: Birdman of Alcatraz

This will be a good chance for people who only know Malden from The Streets of San Francisco or American Express ads to see what he was like as an actor on the big screen. I think they should be showing more though. TCM must own more movies that feature Malden.

They showed Pollyanna this past weekend, in which Karl Malden plays a sizeable role as Reverend Ford. That would've been a good choice to show he could play anything, from family movies to gritty westerns and war pics.
